Gene symbol :  
A4galt
NCBI gene ID :  
239559
Gene full name :  
Alpha 1,4-galactosyltransferase
Synonym :  
Gb3 synthase, Glt6

Protein function

Protein name :  
Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase
Synthesizes globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), key glycosphingolipid

Expected phenotype

KO mice lack Gb3, resistant to Shiga toxin

Human disease relevance

Involved in Fabry disease and Shiga toxin susceptibility

Model applications

Used in glycosphingolipid and infectious disease models

Keywords:

Glycosylation, Gb3, Shiga toxin, Sphingolipid
